~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the last book, it was mentioned that the Virgil family and the Lao Ha family were worse than each other without knowing each other. One was secretly playing a conspiracy, the other was secretly playing a conspiracy, and I don’t know who will win in the end.

Virgil has been a local snake for hundreds of years, and Lao Ha’s family has been a dragon for decades. Well, the dragon is old, his eyes are cloudy, his skin is slack, and his muscles and bones are soft.

Fortunately, the arrival of Carl brought a little freshness to the Old Ha family. Even Old Ruina, who had been dozing off with his head down, was in a lot of energy.

Fortunately, the old fox is the old fox. In front of everyone, he is still half-dead and soft.

In the Governor’s Mansion, in the small study of Ruina’s house, the murals still smelled of heavy make-up, and the furniture was still in deep and steady colors. Karl frowned.

“Little Carl, you also dislike the heavyness of this place, right? It’s an old man’s habit. If you want me to tell you, just knock it down and replace it with some bright furniture. The murals will also be knocked out. Just change the wallpaper, or even brush it with white ash. Okay”

The dumb-headed goose An Dong’s eyes widened, looking at this daring little devil sister.

“It’s not really smashing, at least I don’t dare to smash it when I’m not at home. What are you afraid of?”

Luisa glared at Anton, pouted and said:

“Isn’t it enough that you’ve been addicted to your mouth?”

Only then did An Dong react. My sister didn’t really want to smash it, it was just unpleasant. He hurriedly said:

“Okay, okay, let’s have fun.”

Only then did Louisa return to the topic, pulling Karl and asking:

“Little Carl, do you pay attention to these factories and the cities you choose?”

Little devil Louisa, she has doubts about Carl’s choice of land, but the old war **** doesn’t speak, and Mrs. Sophie, Mrs. Ferdinand and his wife who are closer to Carl, the four of them have the same share ratio as the Rena family. .

“Auntie, there’s a map of our house, take it out, and we can tell it clearly when we look at the map.”

In Carl’s previous life, when he was in Zurich and Munich, he was very familiar with the railway transportation through the Alps. He had taken many times on the local trains for sightseeing and the fast-passing international trains.

These cities he chose all have railways passing through the Alps, connecting the German region, and connecting the major cities Zurich, Munich, Vienna, and Karl’s new Austrian-speaking big city – Novi Sad.

The three people came to the edge of the map. Karl took the baton, pointed at Como, and pulled all the way up, saying to the little devil and the dumb goose:

“Como, all the way up the river, over the Alps, connecting to Lucerne and Zurich, as well as Bern, Basel, these are the core cities of the German region.”

There is another sentence Karl didn’t say. Zurich in the future will be much stronger than it is now. Its comprehensive strength is no problem in the top 5 in Germany.

“Is the traffic inconvenient now?” asked Anton, the stupid goose.

“Of course it’s inconvenient, Uncle Anton, it’s convenient. What’s wrong with our railway accessories company? After the East-West Railway is repaired, the Trans Mountain Railway will start soon, won’t our business continue?”

Actually, this is a bit of a delusion. The railway from Zurich is the latest to be repaired.

There are many reasons. This route is relatively rugged, and the road is difficult to repair. It is also the reason that Italy has no money, Switzerland has no money, and there are few people along the way. There is no oil and water. Even Switzerland and Italy are also afraid of each other and do not want to communicate.

Karl pointed the baton to Lake Garda again and said:

“Verona, along the river, Trent-Bolzano-Merano, and further up, connecting Innsbruck-Munich, Munich, is also the top 5 city in Germany, the capital of the Kingdom of Bavaria.”

“Okay, Anton, it’s inconvenient for you not to submit.”

Seeing that Anton had something to say, Louisa stopped her brother directly.

“No, I mean, this road looks much more reliable than the Como side. There is a big river here. I think the railway can be repaired to Merano soon.”

Clap clap clap, Carl praised the dumb goose for a while:

“Uncle Anton, what you said is very good, it is indeed possible to quickly repair Merano, and the upper part is difficult, leave it to the imperial government, and from Merano below, the river valley is flat and wide, with a large population, oil and water. It’s enough, it’s worth building a railway to connect it.”

“Where’s Udine?” Anton asked.

“Udine, connecting north to Villach, and then splitting in two, one west, you can connect Salzburg-Linz-Vienna, and one east, you can connect Klagenfurt-Graz-Vienna. “

Carl’s look of knowing, shocked Louisa and Anton, and indirectly promoted Carl’s approval from Rena.

“Well, that’s true. Several places connected by Udine are also the core cities of the Austrian Principality. It is very valuable to build a railway to connect them.”

Louisa felt that this little Carl was not familiar with the geography of the empire.

Actually, the two parts of northern Italy and southern Hungary, Carl just focused on the research, and now ask him about other places, to ensure that he will stumble.

However, if one day, the future Emperor Joseph will make him the Grand Duke of Nadah, the King of Nadah, and even the Governor-General, before he goes to serve in the country, Karl will also clarify the situation of the jurisdiction.

“Rias is also connected to the core city of the Grand Duchy of Austria? Don’t bully me that I haven’t read a book.”

Luisa asked him a joke.

“From Trieste, from the northeast to Ljubljana, to the north is the Marburg-Graz-Vienna line. Is this the core city of Austria?”

Luisa nodded and agreed with this statement.

Carl took the baton a little short to the south and then to the east, and said:

“In Ljubljana, to the south, Zagreb, and then all the way east, connecting Slavoniv (Slavonja Brod), all the way to Novi Sad.”

“Novi Sad is here with you.”

Louisa pointed to her head and said:

“Is it the core city of Austria?”

“This is necessary, Maria Anna is in charge of Novi Sad.”

“Damn it, old Ruina is the head of the family here, and I haven’t seen it become the core city of Austria.”

Luisa wants to complain about her father again. Carl ignored her and continued his conversation

“Before I came to Northern Italy, there were already more than 70 factories in the Neusatz Industrial Zone. Now it is estimated that there are more than 100. Think about it, is it a core city?”

“There are more than 700 factories in the Lombardy-Venetian kingdom.”

Louisa continued to mutter, and Karl continued to ignore her and continued his own rhythm:

“And the workers in the factory all speak Austrian; not only that, hospitals, universities, and the army all speak Austrian. You say, is Novi Sad a core city in Austria?”

“Oh, so it is! 700 factories in this kingdom, and even more factories, all speak Italian, so it is not the core city of the Austrian Empire.”

Luisa muttered about what happened under Rena’s rule, and suddenly reacted:

In that South Hungary, in a remote and remote area, it is reasonable to say that few can speak Austrian. Even if they have primary and secondary education and university education, they are not so fast.

“I know you have a lot of skills, but you quickly trained a large number of Austrian speakers. How did you do it?”

Since Louisa was puzzled, she asked Carl directly.

“Yes, most people are lazy. If you teach him for free, he may not learn well.”

Anton has more contact with the people, and it is estimated that he has done some educational charity activities, such as Austrian language training, but it is estimated that no one responded.

“For our subjects, we are divided into two kinds deep in our hearts. One is more conscious, and we let them pay for themselves and guide them to study; .”

“You mean these are all compulsory learning? But what if freedom is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, what if he doesn’t learn from you?”

“Beat, punish, severely corporal punishment.”

Carl calmly said the point of view that a civilized person cannot accept, which shows that this guy is not a civilized person.

“What? You guys are too backward, you can beat anyone casually. In the whole of Europe, only Russia has serfs, right?”

Luisa grew up in a civilized place like Northern Italy, where freedom is especially important.

“We have a fortress group in Novi Sad. The fortress group often needs to recruit some civilians to work. During the work, most of the time is spent on work, and a small half of the time is used to learn Austrian language. If you can’t learn it, continue to work.”

Carl sighed and said:

“It’s clear how the assessment is going, and secretly there is also the Austrian language assessment, but I don’t know how to say it, but I release this standard in private. In the end, everyone knows that if you do your job well and learn the Austrian language well, you can go out.”

“Ah, you are too thieves, aren’t you?”

The good man Anton couldn’t imagine such a thing at all, so he could only whimper.

“Later we did this in Smederevo, in Shabat, in Banstadt (Panchevo), and in any place, we often requisitioned young civilians, in their teens and twenties, male or female. And train them in the Austrian language, with a goal of ten times the number of local troops.”

Louisa shook her head, and then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, expressing an incredible solution and fully agreeing.

“After they learned the Austrian language well, they went to Novi Sad and other four cities, and their income was several times higher than when they were only busy with farm work before. They gradually realized how important the military career was.”

“You are simply inhuman; you are all divine.”

This is a compliment from Anton~www.mtlnovel.com~ We are currently implementing it in four cities, and we hope to add Belgrade in the next year. “

Karl didn’t say anything, but he thought about it in his heart. He hoped that in the next two years, Niš, Pirot, Leskovac and other three cities will also be able to do the same, large-scale compulsory Austrian language training.

“Then we also arrest people in Venice and force them to train in the Austrian language. Why didn’t Old Rui take this elm head?”

Louisa, feeling that this is a good way, patted her head and said:

“I never thought of that.”

“Aunt Louisa, if you do this in Venice, it’s all messed up, and it’s known to the whole of Europe, and the old Ha family will lose a lot of money.”

“Why, you can do it, but we can’t do it? You can’t be ashamed, but we’ll be ashamed if you do it? Are you fooling me into not reading?” Luisa came up with this trick again.

“Aunt Louisa, where is Venice and where is Novi Sad? The two are not the same thing. We were in a remote country back then. You are an international metropolis, can you be the same?”

Louisa understood, she quickly asked:

“Then what do we do?”

“Although Lombardy-Venezia is a land of flowers, there are also less prosperous places, such as Udine, Trieste, Como, etc., where you can let the garrison recruit civilians while working, Doing the Austrian language training at the same time.”

Carl also shared further thoughts:

“These small places have trained talents, which can be used not only in small places, but also in Venice and Milan, especially as we are getting bigger and bigger, and when we arrive at a new place, we must bring some confidants, and confidants will also bring a few people. Well, this way there are upper, middle and lower parts, and the shelf is put up.”
